Happy Halloween!

Here is a review of our Halloween Season! Olivia had many different Halloween outfits to wear through out the month and I got a few on camera. Plus we had to pick between a few Halloween costumes. We decided on the spider because it was super cute and it just so happens that David's Squadron is the Black Widows! Unfortunately David had to work Halloween Night. But our neighbors were so awesome and invited us to tag along! Olivia had a lot of fun following the other kids and caring her pumpkin bucket. Lucky for me Aunt Tory & Uncle B were willing to help carry Olivia along! It was a great night for Trick or Treating and once our buckets were filled we called it a night! Hope you all had a wonderful night full of fun!

Neighborhood Pumpkin Party

This was our second annual pumpkin carving party that we hosted for our neighbors and AF friends. Everyone comes over to our garage and fills their bellies with chili and lots of good Halloween treats. Then when everyone is done eating they get their pumpkins they brought and start carving. David & I try to help all the neighborhood kids carve their pumpkins. It is a messy job but the kids love it! They draw their own faces on the pumpkins and we do the carving! At the end we line them all up and turn out the lights! Happy Halloween!

Grandpa Steve & Grandma Sue Come Visit

This past weekend we had a special treat of having my Dad & Mom come visit! It was so nice to have them as guests at our house for a change. Maybe just someday they will come and just sit but for now they were busy helping and playing! Olivia had a wonderful time leading Grandpa around on her new "leash", reading books, playing with her toys and "taking pictures"! I say taking pictures because Olivia pretended to take pics all afternoon. We had the tripod out trying to get a family photo of all of us and she must have really been watching. She found a remote that when pushed displayed a red light, she put it on the tripod and then would say "CHEESE"! We all had a lot of fun together! Just wish the weekend wouldn't go by so fast! We thank you for a fantastic, fun weekend and we miss you lots!
